Visiting Florence requires an obligatory stop, that of trying its most famous traditional dish: bistecca alla fiorentina.
At Lungarno 23 we introduced it this year; it is something new that we feel passionately about offering you. Our chef will prepare it for you according to the most ancient Tuscan culinary tradition, and that is exclusively rare.
This does not mean that you will find real blood in the steak once it is cooked: it is rather myoglobin, the protein that binds oxygen in the cytoplasm of muscle cells.
As for wine pairings, letour staff advise you, who will surely know how to suggest which red to choose according to your taste, but also according tothe best possible enhancement of the PGI Chianina meat.
